Tesla Cybercab Will Let You Change Air Vent Direction From the App
The feature adds remote climate control to Tesla's upcoming robotaxi ahead of its planned launch.
Tesla is developing a feature for the Cybercab that will allow owners to adjust air vent direction remotely through the mobile app, according to documentation reviewed by Not a Tesla App.
What Happened
The feature was spotted in Tesla's app code, indicating that Cybercab owners will be able to control climate ventilation settings from their phones before entering the vehicle. This adds to the growing list of remote preconditioning features Tesla offers for its vehicles, adapted specifically for the dedicated robotaxi platform unveiled at the company's Robotaxi Day event.
Why It Matters
For prospective Cybercab operators and fleet managers, the ability to precondition cabin settings remotely could improve passenger comfort upon entry and optimize energy use before a ride begins. The feature reflects Tesla's approach of extending its existing app ecosystem to new vehicle platforms, potentially differentiating the robotaxi from competitors that may require in-cabin controls for such adjustments.
The Bottom Line
Tesla continues layering familiar app-based controls onto the Cybercab as it prepares for broader deployment. Remote vent direction adjustment is a small but practical feature that addresses real-world usability concerns for a vehicle designed primarily for autonomous operation without an onboard driver present.
